The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is offering a number of reptiles for disposal through a ballot. The following species have been identified for the Department and are advertised as:
2 x Common Bluetongue (Tiliqua scincoides) Species Code: 2580
Every effort has been made to correctly identify these animals. The Department cannot guarantee the identification of an animal offered though the ballot system.
These animals have been seized during recent law enforcement investigations. Some of these animals may have been caught in the wild and their original capture locations are unknown. The return of these animals to the wild is not a responsible conservation option.
The Department recommends that a veterinarian checks all animals received through the ballot system and a reptile hygiene protocol be followed.
If you wish to be included in the ballot you must register your interest by 9.00 AM Friday 30 November 2012. Registrations received after this time will not be accepted. You can register your interest by sending an email to [email protected]
Phone enquiries will not be accepted.
Your registration must include the following:
1. The words OEH HURSTVILLE BALLOT in the title of your email
2. Your full name
3. Your address
4. Your current NSW Animal Keepers’ Licence number
5. Your contact number between 1.00pm and 2.00pm on Friday 30 November 2012
6. NOTE: only one individual animal per licensee can be provided
Any registrations that do not include all of the above will be excluded from the ballot. Licences will be checked before the ballot. Expired licences or licensees whose fauna record books we have not received for 2012 will also be excluded from the ballot.
NB: If you are successful in the ballot you must be available to collect the animal from the Department’s HURSTVILLE office between 2.00PM and 3.00PM on Monday 3 December 2012. If you intend to have someone collect the animals from our office on your behalf they must have permission from you IN WRITING. Verbal permission will not be accepted.
If you are successful:
1. You will be notified by phone between 1.00pm and 2.00pm on Friday 30 November 2012.
2. You must collect the animal from the Department’s HURSTVILLE office between 2.00PM and 3.00PM on Monday 3 December 2012. If you are unable to collect your animal during this time it will be forfeited to the next available person.
3. You must bring a hard-shelled lockable container to transport your animal.
4. You must bring along a clean pillowcase.
